I’ve always wanted to pay with Amazon gift cards. They seem like a good alternative. As far I know you don’t have to put your name on the card etc. so it can stay anonymous. I’ve never seen anyone accepting them though. Especially here in japan

This was great. nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g Would love to hear opinions on the payment options in Robosats and what your preferred ones are. Bank transfers are the easiest and most available (including wise and revolut) but these are KYC’d so it’s a little bit meh 🫤

YOU GOT IT. SPOT ON. HAHA

lol. Mostro is a p2p exchange, so it's for transaction disputes

That said, I'm far from that level of faith. But it's always in grasp and limited by me.

In the world but not of it. I am of the belief that if we really understand God and know Him and live with Him in us, we are not subject to the things of this world. We can work to remove the poison whilst wading through it.

Like what happened with John G. Lake and the bubonic plague

"John G. Lake, a faith healer and Pentecostal missionary, arrived in South Africa in 1908 to establish the Apostolic Faith Mission. During his time there, a bubonic plague outbreak—part of the third global pandemic—devastated the region, leaving many corpses unburied as people feared contagion.

Lake volunteered to help, entering homes with a companion to retrieve and bury the dead, often in mass graves due to the high death toll. Despite close contact with infected bodies, he claimed neither he nor his helper fell ill.

When British doctors arrived with supplies, they were amazed Lake remained uninfected. He told them his faith in "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" protected him, even claiming plague germs died on contact with his skin under a microscope, attributing this to God’s power."

Who are some good content creators (ideally audio/visual content but books would work too) in modern AI? Transformers and Diffusers etc.

I’m an engineer but a NN AI noob and wanting to learn.

I know of Andrej Karpathy and that’s about it.

Also any suggested online courses for getting hands-on are welcome too! (Don’t care what language though I assume it’s going to be Python)

The “offline” was in the description of NFC. Not related to the phone being on wifi.

Being a husband and father is not easy. There's a lot of responsibility and thought required, much that is never known about or seen.

Haha indeed! When you live for yourself, you know that you'll be okay in whatever situation. But not necessarily for your family.

She looks exactly how I'd imagine a leader in "1984". The video is muted for me so my mind is automatically putting 1984-jargon in her mouth.

Lol. Buy bitcoin!!!

When in doubt, but #bitcoin

I’ve always responded to change quite well, with a kind of “なんとかなる/it’ll work out somehow” attitude.

But as a husband and father, big changes are not as easy to swallow without deep thinking, compared to how they were before.

I appreciate the humour! hahaha

Why are you impersonating nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgpcw5vu4lfj2e5well9j4mlxu3cvwx6fnednpdc97fjljqax0dpaq3xkc9s ?

Yeah, I have about 25 years of programming experience, over 15 in actual professional experience. So the fundamentals are quite ingrained.

In my current position I’m already using AI to improve workflows in terms of code reviewing/suggestions, auto completions and general problem solving. So will plan to keep up with what the tools provide. But as engineers get more efficient using AI tooling, the companies will need fewer engineers to deliver projects in the required time, so lay offs are inevitable.

Only key people will be required and I’m trying to identify how to be one

Love this. And totally trying to ramp up on the technical details.

Honestly it feels like a difficult space to have a stable job right now though, for the sole bread winner in a family. This is my primary concern.

This feels ideal though, for sure. I think I’m the future it would become more prevalent and so prepping skill and knowledge around bitcoin, and contributing to projects now would be beneficial.

As you specify though, focusing on ideas is key because the mundane coding stuff will definitely be replaceable by AI.

Tell me what to spend my limited free time learning as a software engineer to help me prolong my career in the face of #AI.

I'm so annoyed now.. I reposted this just before going back to SA for a few weeks, AND went up the garden route while there, passing right by Heidelberg... yet forgot about this place!! Should've popped in to drop some sats for billies! dang.
